About the Candidates.


NASHVILLE. TENN, January 81
There is likely to be very tough con.
test over a proposed continuance Of
the caucus 80 as to cover Senatorial
nomination, but it is believed it will
fail.
The candidates for Comptroller aud
Treasurer are getting their work in
but it is next to impossible to say YET
who are the winning men. There If
a hope Hfor Mathes for Treasurer
above all the others, because he if
the only candidate from West
Tennessee, but Sloan is very
strong and very popular, and
il the election for Comptroller
comes off first may be elected, anc
thus prevent Msthes's success
And vice versa, ii Mathes is elected
Treasurer before nominations foI
Comptroller are made, Sloan may thu
be defeated.

special to the N:wI from Paige, Tex,
says that slight shock of earthquake
occurred there at IL o'clock this
morning, lasting two or three seconds.
No serious damage was done. A
wooden cistern which had been low.
cred into an excavation sank four
inches lower. Ths colored servants
at the Wilson Hotel were greatly
alarmed at the rattling of dishes and
pans 10 the kitchen. The shock was
felt for miles around, and apparently
passed from south to north. A few
people claim to have heard rum
bling noise. The town of Paige is

JOHN ROACH. the great ship builder,
p who is slowly dying of cancer in the
mouth, is a self-made man. He was
born in Ireland, and came to this
country young man well up in his
trade of blacksmith. Suffering the
usual ups and downs incident to the
opening of a caraer in new country,
it was not many years before he had a
large establishment of his own in New
York, where he embarked in the bus
mess OF iron steamship building, re-
moving his shops after some years to
Chester, Pa, where at one time he
employed 2400 men. He built some
of the best steamships now etloat, and
was a persistent advocate of the sub
sidy mail lines by Congress. He has
left his mark upon his sge and ganer-
alton as an en,erprising, hard working
and useful ciiEsu.

ALL honor to Fayette county, which
has Just raised its school tax one-third,
from 10 to Is cents, elected woman
to be its Sehoo! Superintendent, and
raised the salary Of the Office. This
looks as if the people OF that thriving
county we're beginning the new year
with progressive" boom. Ithas set
an example for Shelby county, indeed
fer every county in the State, and de-
serves the plaudits tf the people
everywhere. The common schools
are 80 many mines in which the men
and women of the future are to find
their fortunes.

two years. As Bishop Arthur Cleve-

expressions of tender regret upon
learning that he has goHe." Four
years ago he was attacked with pneu

WE cannot too persistently nor too
urgently press upon the attention OF
the Legislature the necessity for in
ereasing the school levy so that the
children Of the State may have at
least five months Of schooling each
year. This would put Tennessee mp
among the States Of the second class
in point Of educational facilities, and
would encourage emigrants from the
older States, whose first inquiry about
a State is "what are its school facili-
ties?' Give US good schools and
plenty of them and we shall have in
telligent, self.reliant ard industrious
men and women.

The people of the State generally
are well satisfied with the newly
elected speakers of the Sena.e and
House. They are both young men,
Mr.. Ewing, OF the Senate, being about
40, and Mr.. Clapp, of the Hous', 50,
have been we'll educated, are men
of cultivation and travel, and
have been we'll trained in the law.
They are what might be termed lib
eral, progressive Democrats, and may
be depended upon to advance every
measure of liberal and progressive
legislation. To this end, while they
will be discreet in the selection OF
standing committees, theylwill sse to ii
that progressive men are in the lead.
They have especially large sympathies
with the public schools, and we hope
will be successful in getting friendly
committees in both houses

The case of the State VS.. Berg, for
stealing carpenter tools, was drawn out at
length last week. The jury stood four
for conviction and two for acquittal.
This week the fellow was tried again.
This time a jury of twelve was brought
into use. In order to reach men who
shad not formed an opinion in the case,'
the jury was taken from the eastern part
OF the county. After about three days of
monkeying. the jury OF dozen disagreed
about IS O'Clock yesterday morning. Nine
were for conviction and three for acquit-
tai
